David and Goliath (2015)

Richard Summers-Calvert: Abinadab

Quotes 

• Abinadab : Why must we be tormented by that giant? How many days now has he said the same thing?

  Eliab : Twenty days... and counting.

  Soldier : This giant keeps defying God and he won't quit. Is there no one who will shut him up?

  Eliab : How about you?

  Soldier : SHUT UP! What about you?

  Eliab : 'Cause I... do not wish to DIE today, you FOOL!

• Abinadab : Eliab, why do you talk about our brother David that way?

  Eliab : He doesn't know the first thing about fighting. He's just pretending to be righteous. And I still don't know why that prophet anointed him over me. I'm the eldest. And on top of that, I'm taller, stronger, and better looking.

  Soldier : Yeah, right.

  Caleb : Have you forgot more talented?

  Soldier : Yeah, indeed.

  Eliab : Yeah, I AM more talented than him. Oh, shut up!

• Abinadab : He's not a bear or a lion, David. He's a first-rate warrior. Let me get this through your THICK, STUBBORN SKULL! That man was created to kill people! That's all he knows, that's all he does. That's what he loves to do, that's what he was BORN... TO DO!

  David : I KNOW!

  Abinadab : Then why fight him?

  David : Because maybe... maybe it's what I was born to do.

• Eliab : I'm... asking you, as your brother, to not go through with this. You can not win. You can not win.

  David : I can not, I know, but my God WILL deliver me. I'll be all right. I'll kill this giant and I'll get back to my sheep. Don't worry, brother. I'll be all right, brother.

  Eliab : Please. As a brother, don't go through with this. It's suicide!

  David : I'll be okay, Eliab.

  Abinadab : David? Think of Father. You can not beat this warrior. Dying will prove nothing.

  David : I've often thought of dying, what it would be like. As a steel sword slits my throat, would I feel any pain? But I've got to have faith. I must believe that my God will be there FOR me.

  Eliab : You... have always had greater faith than me, David.

  David : Anyone can have it, brother, from the smallest person to the biggest giant. God is in control.
